Yeah, China is protecting North Korea, but only to a point... I really cannot see them going to war with us in North Korea's favor either. China and Russia actually also aren't thrilled that North Korea has nuclear weapons...
As for Russia getting involved, no way, other than participating in the talks over North Korea's nuclear program.
You're right that things are looking a little scary though, thanks to the North Korean regime... but open war? I doubt it, I really do. SUre they have a few nukes and could kill many millions of people in South Korea and/or Japan, but they'd lose in the end and know it, their country would be utterly devastated, and do they really think China would go to war with the West because of them again? I really, REALLY don't think so.
I mean, it'd be completely suicidal for the North Korean regime to actually go to war. So I don't think they'll do it... they'll just keep doing what they've been doing, pushing boundaries, causing trouble, horribly oppressing their people, being annoying...
